Sella Controls has been awarded a contract to deliver the Building Management Systems (BMS) and SCADA Systems for the S1 and S2 Section Tunnels for HS2 (High Speed 2 Limited) in the greater London area in the UK.
The contract has been awarded by the main works civil contractor for this section of the railway.
Skanska Costain Strabag Joint Venture (SCS JV) are in the process of construction works that include two tunnel sections. These are the Northolt Tunnel and the Euston Tunnel.
Each Tunnel consists of several ventilation shafts and portals that require BMS SCADA to monitor and deliver performance information locally and to a central Engineering Management System.
The contract requires Sella Controls to undertake the complete design, including equipment selection, engineering, implementation, factory integration testing, installation and commissioning of 11 independent BMS SCADA applications.
The project commenced in August 2023 and will run through to the completion of Skanska Costain Strabag JV’s main works programme once all of the installations have been returned to HS2.
The BMS SCADA system will be designed to interface and integrate with Ventilation Systems, LV Power Distribution, Portal and Ventilation Shaft Utilities and Fire Systems.
This will require a significant level of stakeholder engagement with other design and delivery teams from multiple sub-system suppliers and interfacing with HS2 to deliver one standard solution.
Chris Elliott, Business Development Director for Sella Controls Rail business, said: “The award of this contract by Skanska Costain Strabag JV is a demonstration of our expertise in rail systems integration and our position in the UK rail market as a premier supplier of control system applications.”
Elliott commented further: “Having already completed projects in support of the enabling works at Euston for the HS2 programme, the business was eager to support the main works programme.”
Jörg de la Motte, CEO for HIMA Group, commented: “To be awarded this prestigious scope of works is excellent news for the business both in the UK and for the HIMA Group globally”.
Matthew Soul, Testing & Commissioning Manager for Skanska Costain Strabag joint venture (SCS JV), commented: “After a competitive tender process, we are delighted to announce that Sella Controls has been awarded the BMS and Comms scope of work for the S1 and S2 main works civil contract of the HS2 project.
“Sella Controls stood out due to their expertise, reputation and collaborative behaviour demonstrated through the procurement process. Skanska Costain Strabag joint venture (SCS JV) look forward to delivering this important element of the works in partnership with Sella Control on behalf of HS2.”
